Abstract

A sensor system for protecting a door (16) of a vehicle (10) from damage includes an electronic sensor (12) operable to detect when an object (14) external to the vehicle is within close proximity to the door (16) of the vehicle. The sensor system provides a signal indicative of the proximity of the external object (14). The sensor system also includes a blocking hinge mechanism (22) coupled with the signal. The hinge mechanism blocks (22) the opening of the door (16) beyond a distance wherein the vehicle door would strike the object (14).
